CHARLES PUTMANPonca, Dixon County

Franklin is listed as 34 VT, a farmer.His wife, Isabel Lacy, is 23 IA. Their son, Isaac, is 8 months NE.Also in the household are four Carnell
male children: E. H. 12 IA, W.C. 11 IA, P. W. 9 IA, and O. H. 5 IA. An entry in
FTW states he was born in Cavendish, Vermont, but no reference to his folks. I
hit on a descendent who said his full name was Charles Franklin Putnam. Bingo.
In 1840 Franklin Putnam of Cavendish, Windsor County Vermont had a 5 year old
son. In 1850 he was gone from the state. The descendent stated Charles moved to
Massachusetts in 1845 and to Nebraska in 1854. Perfect. She also remembers the
name Ezra popping up which was his grandfatherís name. Look in the Vermont
Section to find out all about Ezra, and his sons including Franklin. This line
goes back Charles > Franklin > Ezra > Phineas > Stephen >

14 VT, Donald 2 NE and Arlene 1 NE. They had a son Norman in 1930 who would be
12 now, but has died I guess. Okay Leon is tricky. First time I see him (I
think) is in 1910. He was 15 VT VT VT in Bridgeport, Connecticut with his
father who was simply listed as Putnam 53 VT VT VT at the time. Then I Ďreallyí
see him right here in 1920. He is listed 25 VT VT VT and a Ďsoní of Sam
Waterman 47 IA and his wife Flora 41 VT VT VT. Okay, Flora is a daughter of
Rollin Burton Putnam and Alice Eldred from Franklin County Vermont. She was at
home there in 1880 and gone by 1900. Now come guesses. In 1900 there was a Leon
Eldred the right age in Belvidere Corners, Franklin County. He was with
relatives and may have been put down as an Eldred by the census guy. In fact he
may have been a Putnam or perhaps an illegitimate son of Flora. Not sure at
all. In 1930 though he is back in Franklin County Vermont and married to a
Ďcousiní Bernice McKenney. The marriage record in Vermont Gives his name as
Leon Warren Putnam age 25, fatherís name Bert and mother Flora married to
Beatrice Myrtle McKenney in Georgia, Franklin County Vermont January 13, 1922.
Bernice is a cousin of sorts as her mother Myrtle was a daughter of Rollin
Putnam from Franklin County. Rand Putnam found his draft card info. It says his
full name is Leon Warren Putnam and was born April 19, 1895 in Belvidere,
Vermont. He was living there in 1918 when he was drafted. I looked it up, and
saw that he was employed by Warren Eldred in Belvidere
Corners, Vermont. Aha thatís the guy he was living with in 1900 in
Belvidere Corners, Vermont. Then I found a whole bunch of family sheets stating
he was born in Belvidere, Lamoille County and was a son of Rollin Burton Putman
and Alice Eldred. Well he never ever showed up in any family census report with
them. Rollinís lasts kids were born in the 1880s. His daughter Flora, who I
mentioned earlier, was born back in 1878 and would be about the right early age
to have a kid at age 17 in 1895. She also wasnít listed in any censuses in 1900
and neither was Leon. It was just Ďtactfulí to have them hidden in the barn
when the census guy came around. Also you gotta
realize Franklin County Vermont is on the Canadian border and in the real
boondocks. About like Appalachia, only a few miles north of both the Carolinas
and also Quebec, Canada and also probably the Arctic Circle JJay Peek is great
ski area there but English isnít spoken a lot. Same with
Newport up in Orange County. Been there and the road signs are in
French. So ÖÖ. I think Burtís daughter Flora played
around with Warren Eldred or one of his kids, had Leon in the back seat of
their Ford at the local drive-in movie and Ďblendedí him into the family. Flora
got looked at kinda hard so she split with Leon, hitch
hiked to Omaha and set up a new life. The Iowa death index shows he was born
April 9, 1895 and died February 6, 1971 in Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie County
Iowa. So Leon was here in 1920, in Vermont early on and again in 1930 and then
back here with his cousin for a while then to Iowa and then call it quits. Whew !!
